is it just me or has the website itself (not the content) gone totally to shit? i'm not just annoyed with the out-of-US paywall, but stuff like headlines on the front page that lead to pages like this:

When a colleague forwarded a story to me under the headline, “Fracking Industry Now Largest Employer of Recent PR Graduates,” I was intrigued, mostly because the oil and gas sector isn’t known for its proactive public relations strategies.

Perhaps such an embrace wouldn’t be a bad idea, but it turns out it’s not one rooted in reality. Scrolling down to find the source of the story, I saw that it was The Onion, a parody news site.
